Hi and welcome!
I am Jonathan Rouah.
I help you feel the feelings and move the emotions that are standing between the life you live and the life you want.
I give Body-Oriented Coaching and Therapy sessions either online or in-person in Amsterdam.
I am a certified coach from the Somatic School of London as well as a Breathwork Facilitator.
Are you experiencing:
– burnout symptoms. Being disconnected from your body and from yourself?
– a harsh and overpowering inner critic slowing you down?
– a lack of sense of purpose? Lack of joy, playfulness or creativity?
– performing and editing yourself instead of speaking from your inner truth and your authentic self?
– people pleasing behaviour, difficulty saying “No!” and establishing your boundaries?
I have once checked all of those boxes.
I can help you.
“He says the best way out is always through.”

Your Body holds the Key
My mission is to teach you how to feel your feelings fully and to move your emotions completely. As Westerners we are conditioned to believe that we can heal the mind with the mind and we prefer cognitive therapy when we’re looking for help. Doing so we overlook how our emotions are trapped in our body. Somatic Coaching and Therapy works differently. We don’t think our way out of the pattern. We go right into it and we feel it. When we allow ourselves to meet those feelings with openness and compassion, they transform, they reveal their wisdom and we find clarity that we are looking for. Uncomfortable? Yes. Life changing? Absolutely!

My own journey
It took until my early thirties to understand how much my childhood and teenage have shaped my mind and my life in many destructive ways. I had many addictions helping me coping with what I couldn’t feel: smoking cigarets compulsively, cannabis daily, alcohol weekly, compulsive sexuality as well. On the emotional side: unintegrated anger bursting frequently, deep shame, people pleasing behaviour, impossibility to concentrate and focus, very low self-esteem, lack of self-confidence, commitment issues… The traumas experienced, from being bullied to being a scapegoat as well as emotional neglect, left a big wound and anything went for as long as I would numb myself sufficiently. The disconnection from the body ran very, very deep.
My journey to nervous system regulation, psychological healing and spiritual growth began in 2016. Since then I practiced and studied many modalities ranging from Mindfulness Meditation (which I still practice), Yoga, Breathwork, Calisthenics, Running, Cold exposure, Journaling, Somatic Coaching and Therapy… I also studied Jungian psychology, Mythology and Eastern philosophies. Once again, anything would go but this time walking the path towards nervous system regulation, inner safety, holistic health, wholeness and individuation. I am not saying I am ‘there’ yet (for wherever ‘there’ is) but these years of studying brought me a wide knowledge both theoretical and embodied and I love to use it to help you create the life you want and break free from the patterns that are blocking you from doing so. I am certified as both Somatic Coach from the Somatic School of London and as Breathwork facilitator that I have learned with Michael Bijker.
I am very much looking forward to hearing from you.
With much love,
Jonathan.
My clients’ experiences
As a guide and coach myself, working from “bone to spirit”, I was immediately drawn to Jonathan’s warm and grounded presence, which made me feel at ease right away. He took the time (spread over different encounters) to thoroughly prepare me for the psychedelic journey, explaining everything with great care and clarity. I recognized in him his clear sense of knowledge and alignment during the guidance. From the very beginning of the journey, I felt his full presence as a space holder — something I had never experienced in this way before. his profound journey.
Jonathan, I experienced you as a truly gifted guide: gentle in your care, steady in your support, and insightful in how you asked open questions that led to deeper personal and spiritual growth. Thank you so much for this profound journey.
So many times I’ve sat with my own breath, searching for a sense of safety in my body… The session with Jonathan was something special – a gentle invitation to meet myself as I am. Jonathan holds space in a way that is both – deeply respectful and quietly powerful.
He was attentive and present, guiding me without intruding my inner world.
I felt fully supported and held, free to open up in my vulnerability and trust the process, even when it felt raw at the time.
The ceremony was more than just a breathing session- it was a safe harbor for my emotions, a place where pain could be witnessed, not rushed, not bypassed. It’s a place to truly meet yourself and let go of what’s been stored in your body. I can’t recommend Jonathan enough. He brings wisdom, kindness, and a rare ability to honor both the journey and the person behind it. Thank you, Jonathan, for helping me remember the strength in softness, howling and for holding space for my story.
Immediately I felt at ease with Jonathan. Around him time seems to slow down. That’s what I needed. We sometimes forget, forsake or take for granted what we feel. Jonathan helped me to travel within and feel my way through my own labyrinth. I look forward to longer introspective travels.
I did two ceremonies with Jonathan – first a one-to-one guided psilocybin introspective experience, and more recently the Clarity ceremony in a group (breathwork and micro-dosing). Both were beautiful, profound and deeply insightful experiences, and made a big impact on my personal development journey to better understand and process my emotions.
Jonathan was the best guide I could have possibly wished for on my first guided journey. The experience was tremendously intense, eye-opening, and, at times, mind-bogglingly confusing, but Jonathan was there at every stage to guide, comfort, or cheer me on in a natural and heartfelt way. What stands out to me the most is how he was able to compassionately, yet decisively, invite and guide me toward the more difficult parts of my (sub)consciousness.
Jonathan is creatief, empatisch, vindingrijk en heel fijn om mee te werken. Hij belichaamt een fijne balans tussen mannelijke en vrouwelijk energie, en dat was precies de bedding die ik nodig had tijdens dit proces. De sessies die we samen deden waren enorm transformerend en ik ben werkelijk verrast over het goede resultaat. 10/10 raad ik hem aan!
Jonathan made me feel completely safe during the 1-on-1 breathwork session. He has the perfect balance between strong, grounded guidance and the softness of his words and presence, especially when diving deep. With his drum, he creates the perfect rhythm and atmosphere, paying attention to every detail.
I gained so much clarity, I’m back on the path I want to walk, and it has reignited my ambitions even more. Most of all, that feeling of coming home to my own body and mind — that’s what makes his work so special. He’s a true modern shaman, unique in what he does. Jonathan, you’re the best. Thank you for your support! 🙏🏽
This mini dose breathwork session, guided by Jonathan’s gentle and authentic presence, felt like a profound homecoming. It allowed me to see my life as it truly is and illuminated a clear vision on where I am headed. The experience, enriched by a slight undertone of psilocybin, meaningful rituals, and soothing sounds, was a masterful blend of art and introspection.
Jonathan is the healer your soul has been waiting for. His calm presence and gentle wisdom weave a space so safe, you can finally surrender — allowing whatever wants to surface, to simply be.
At first, I was both curious and cautious, standing at the edge of trust. But as I stepped into his presence, something within me softened, opened, and began to breathe again.
With Jonathan, you journey inward — into trust, into silence, into the raw beauty of being human. Every emotion, every sensation, every fleeting thought is welcomed, held, and honoured.
To know your patterns is one thing. To meet them through your body, to feel them, to release them — that is an entirely new kind of freedom.
Jonathan, I am endlessly grateful for crossing paths with you.
No words will ever be enough to say thank you.
